Item Details
Description
PAUL, Frank R. (1884-1963). Original illustration from unidentified publication. [1930s].

Original pen and ink with brush and gouache highlights on paper of an alien ship firing a death ray into a planet signed by Paul at lower center (soiling, tape repairs, small section detached but present, numerous additional artist studies on verso). Sheet 18 x 3/4 x 24 in. Provenance: Forrest J. Ackerman (1916-2008), American science fiction editor and publisher; acquired by the present owner directly from Ackerman.

Following Hugo Gernsback's departure from Amazing Stories in 1929, Frank R. Paul opted to follow his former boss to his new publication, Wonder Stories. The present illustration likely accompanied a story which would have appeared in Amazing Stories during the 1930s. Accompanied by Certificate of Authenticity dated 8 March 2004 and SIGNED BY FORREST J. ACKERMAN.
